Can anyone else besides me (before the wreck) ride a unicycle?

I was jumping over people and stuff the morning before the wreck, ever heard of "trials biking" I did that stuff, but on a unicycle....hehe....crazy offroad and urban stuff, like down or up stairs, off tables, mountain/downhill/trails, on big rocks, clearing gaps and stuff

IT TAKES TWICE THE MAN TO RIDE HALF THE BIKE! :thumbup:

I actually have 2 "rideable" unicycles (also have 2 POS's)

My favorite..(trials)

The "HULK" after the first day of riding (at the UofA) I had to replace the plastic mountainbike pedals with steel/spiked pedals, and I bent the alloy cranks so I had to buy HEAVY steel cranks

on this particular unicycle my higest verticle jump was about 2.5 feet and the longest horizontal jump was 4.5 feet, but that was back when i was a soph. and rode everyday for a few hours :D i'm out of shape now, i can (could) still jump over my buddies and on parkbenches and stuff,

:lol: i took it to a tailgate party at SHS and we all laughed as Caleb and his friends busted their nuts, one guy decided i made stairs look easy and tried it and it ended up not feeling too good ;)

here's a video of what i'm talking about

yah well you learn REALLY quick how to shift your weight just right so you dont bust em, and acutally you really dont sit on it when you are doing that crazy stuff, you stand up on the pedals and use the seat for a handle

:D i hurt myself much worse and more times on a bike...

[BDP]

Perhaps its just one of those devices that is easier to use than it looks. Still - NOT ME :P

rode that....key word being "rode" hopefully by the end of summer i'll have the balls to get back on, watch me break my ankle again....

i was lying there in the ER, telling the doc, "i've been jumping off ledges and over people all day on a unicycle, i get in a car and what do i do? i break my friggin ankle."

he looked at me like i was on too many pain meds and walked out, the F***er didnt even give me any pain meds for a couple hours :angry:


nighty night guys, i'm about to crash

[Triepsyn]
